Dede,
I notice you are using Gmail, and I assume your husband is also. I have had
a recent problem with a friend, where PDF files sent to his Gmail account
are not able to be opened, but the same file sent to his two alternate
accounts go through fine. When we look at the attachment sizes they are
different. We have tried 3-4 tests with different PDF files and all have the
same problem. He suspects something is happening at Gmail that corrupts
certain attachments.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Intellishare question
My husband has heard me talk about his family history long enough and now
he
wants to get in on the action. Yay! We have separate computers so I
decided that the Intellishare option would work for us.
I have read the Help Center article and understand what I'm supposed to do
when he sends me the file AFTER he's made changes.
I exported my family file to a Legacy file and saved it under a different
name. I e-mailed the file to him. When we tried to open it through
Legacy
on his computer, it did not work. It had the .fdb extension. Luckily
we're
in the same house, so I could copy the file to a jump drive and move it to
his computer. But I'm wondering, what happens when the person you're
sharing with is in another state and e-mail is the only way to transmit
the
files back and forth?
Does anybody have any ideas or experience with this? The only problem
that
I can think of is the possibility that the file name I used for the
e-mailed
version (send to rick.fdb) was not a good name. When I exported to my
jump
drive, I used a one word file name. Could that explain the problem?
